This is a collection of 500 different GM-compatible soundfonts in SF2 format.
For the most part, these are full sets with all instruments included. They can be used to listen to MIDI files with all kinds of new and interesting sounds! The small handful that replace only Pianos, Guitars and Drums are very clearly labeled as such.
If you are a Windows user, I suggest using these in conjunction with the "VirtualMIDISynth" program. The process is very straightforward.
Many of these soundfonts are very difficult to find online, and required users to go to dodgy websites, or search old links on the WayBack Machine and hope that they were archived. This pack removes the hassle, and is my best attempt to collect every soundfont made from the early 90s all the way through today (2022 as of writing this document).
If you would like to know more about each individual soundfont, please open them using the program "Polyphone Soundfont Editor". Most soundfont creators list their name, the date of creation, and in some cases very detailed information about the soundfont.
Enjoy!

This is the most comprehensive, cleanest and safest collection of Soundfonts I have found on the Internet. It is rather large, so I recommend using a Torrent to download. It would be nice if a list of all the Soundfonts was available (or if you could download just the ones you want) but you won't find me complaining.

I've tried most of the GM sets here and Merlin Symphony continues to be the best one for Doom. Not sure about the MIDI packs for Plutonia, but all the Ultimate Doom, Doom II, and TNT midis sound great with it. 10/10 would recommend for anyone trying to upscale their game without downloading 90MB worth of Ogg Vorbis files.
As for lazy stuff, the "Ultimate Mega Drive" soundfont was really just slapped together. If you're using a DAW and want to sound like the Mega Drive, just use Dexed and save yourself the headache.

I have a few ISA soundboards with a dedicated ram option and this pack is quite a delight to experiment with.
Downloaded it via torrent.
Thanks for the upload!

You should just download the torrent, it is very fast because it uses a different type of server.

SOUNDS GREAT, could you reload these in 10 downloads? 39gigs is very very large for most computers. I have a new high end MAC, it took it 8 hours to download and at the end of 8 hours there was an error. I am afraid many people suffer from this.
I applaud your sharing, but in 30 years online, I have never seen a file this large. Internet Archive is very slow compared to newer servers, and 39 gigs is a killer. I really want to obtain these. I know that at one time 5 DOCTORS of Doctor Who were available, and that was perhaps 50 gigs, but each show was a different download - so you didn't end up losing all of them if there was an error. THANKS, PLEASE, it would help a lot of people.

A Must have for people who use FL Studio, Renoise, etc. I suggest storing this on a dedicated 40G SDC or Memory stick.
